Canning, Town in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Canning is a town approximately 32 kilometers south of Buenos Aires that has developed into a popular residential area for families seeking quiet and security. It consists of numerous gated communities, shopping centers with Tuscan-inspired design, and various commercial and recreational facilities.
Canning was founded around 1911 when a train station named after British politician George Canning was built, and a small village grew nearby. Over decades, it transformed from a rural area with farms into a modern suburb with more than sixty private neighborhoods.
Plaza Canning reflects an Italian-inspired design that shapes how residents and visitors experience the town, with its cobblestone-like streets and open-air cafes becoming natural gathering spots. People use these spaces to walk, eat, and spend time together, defining the local way of life.
Canning is accessible by car via the Riccheri highway and Route 58, with good access to various amenities including schools, clinics, and public transportation. The proximity to the airport makes it a practical location for travelers seeking accommodation near the airport.
Nearby is Quinta San Vicente, a historic country house built in 1947 that now serves as a museum displaying personal belongings of Juan Domingo Perón and his wife Evita. The museum also houses a narrow-gauge train that Perón used to travel around Argentina.
